On Saturday night several friends and I attended the club with clear intentions of drinking with our limited spending budgets but the bartenders had a scheme planned. They unscrupulously had the audacity to give themselves the freedom to charge credit cards with a 20% tip up front and not giving us, THE CUSTOMER, the option to give them the tip based on what they were worth for their service. On one occasion, we merely bought three beers, one shot of tequila and one mix drink and the bartender decided to give him-self a $9.60 tip. Yes, I could have refused to pay, but because I was intoxicated at the time of the purchase, my guard was down and just signed the receipt. One of the reasons you go to a club is to cut loose not to be cheated and taken advantage of financially. I realize bartenders work hard for their tips but remember, tips are earned based on service, worth and personality. These bartenders are aggressive, rude and you should be aware of their tactics when you attend the cool club. The venue is awesome; music is fabulous but the bar tenders are far from this description. DRINKERS BEWARE but have fun! Pros + 3 area venue, sound system Cons - Bartenders http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html There has been an interesting wave of uncanny methods by the bartenders at Vanguard to drive the meaning of “it’s not about how much you spend but how much they think you should spend”.

On one occasion, we merely bought four beers, one shot of tequila and one mix drink and the bartender decided to give himself a $9 tip. Yes, I could have refused to pay but because I was intoxicated at the time of the purchase I was passive and just signed it authorizing the entire purchase.

DRINKERS BEWARE but have fun. http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html Im from NYC so these clubs don't compare to our clubs. Vanguard is a pretty large club. I had no problem getting in. Bottle service is the same as everywhere else ( price wise). The staff was really friendly. Music was great. I can't say anything bad about it really, besides the crowd isn't that good looking. All the clubs in LA close at 2, and what's really awesome about this club is that it closes at 3, but you can't drink after 2. It's good on friday nights especially Pros + Huge clubs, great music Cons - not too many good looking girls/guys http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html If you want to dance this is definitely the place! http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html TO PARTY THERE, ONE OF MY GUEST COULD NOT GET IN BECAUSE HE HAD A SWEATER ON WITH SLACKS A GROWN ASS MAN, THEY WOULD NOT LET HIM IN BUT THERE WERE OTHER GUYS THERE OF OTHER NATIONALITIES PARTYING IN THE VIP ROOM WITH FADED SWEATERS AND CORDS, WHEN I QUESTIONED IT TO SECURITY ONE BRUSHED ME OFF THE OTHER I GOT INTO AN ARGUEMENT WITH LIKE THE OTHER GUYS SAID THERE ARE TOO MANY CLUBS IN LA TO PUT UP WITH RACISM....I'M DONE NOW... http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html I have no Idea what "eminem" was talkin' about but I've had nothing but a great experience here.... and I go almost every Friday...EPIC is the Business! Lost of different types of music and the dj's r the best in LA by far. I got the hook up from one of the djs that I met at a another club... Farron... never had a problem gettin in on his list... check out djfarron.com for more info... peace yall! http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html this club is horrible. we (17 people) got dropped off at "THE FRONT" entrance. We had bottle service, ready to pay more than 500 dollars AND more money to spend for drinks. Everybody was dressed accordingly, black leather shoes for guys, buttoned up polo shirt, slacks. The girls are wearing dresses and heels. We got to line @ the back and fag promoter/skinny bouncer said 3 of the guys with us are not dressed properly because it their buttoned up long sleeves polo appear to be "baggy". Ok, they are all over 250 lbs. How the hell will u let my friends where a muscle polo shirt (like what the bouncer was wearing with a fluffy jacket, cmon now fag!) if they are over 250 lbs. damn! So before u can get into this club, dress like a fag... this was a horrible experience and never going back to this stupid place. http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html OMG we visited this club from Austin, Texas on December 14, 2007 and we couldn't get enough so we went back the following night. The music was krunk, the drinks were slamming, and hotties were everywhere guys and girls. This is a bad ass club I recommend you get your own fix of it. I'm going through Vanguard withdrawls. http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html Saturday's are amazing, fridays are getting there, and the more people realize this place is around that HOTTER it will be!! http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html Service was horrible from the moment you get in line to the moment you leave. EVERY employee there were down-right rude!!! The guest list is virtually non-existent since it doesn't even matter if you get there early. They will still make you pay even though you were previously told that you didn't have to. Then, the bouncers think they have such supreme power that they abuse it! I guess it makes their low-esteem selves feel better! Plus, the bartenders are more busy flirting & smooching with each other than doing their job!!! This is the worst club I have ever been to!!!! I hope they close down!!! I've never been to a club that had such rude workers in EVERY aspect!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html If you like house music, you will like this club on saturday nights. Their resident DJ's are usually very good and most of the time they have big name DJ's spinning on Saturday nights which is great. Only problem with that is that sometimes it is way too packed which can get a bit annoying. The outside patio is GREAT, at times you will have more fun outside than inside. I can only recommend this place. http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html Gaucho is a marica.. http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html Ok coming from Europe and being a DJ myself in Europe I gotta say the sound system is bad here. As for the service well think of all the other bad reveiws on service, somehoe I think they speak for themselves. Hey we know this is Hollywood but quit being so damm pretentious!!! Vanguard if you want to get it right then treat your customers right and give you staff a reality check as well as a training on customer service. Drinks way over price and for what they charge I would like glass not plastic Somehow I don't think I will be going back again unless you radically change your ways.............mmmm is that lightly Good thing I left early and went to Club Sinister a much better place to hang out Pros + Nothing Cons - Everything http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html This place is horrible...please check yahoo! reviews before going...bad bouncers, over-crowded. super macho "Hip-Hop" Crowd...overall, a very bad experience. L.A. is full of clubs, there is NO reason to go to this one, the DJs will make their way to another club...you've been warned. And I mean..YOUVE BEEN WARNED. http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html I absolutely love this place! I can't say that I have ever had a bad time here! The music is awesome especially on Saturday nights for GIANT. My friends from different states fly out here to see some of the DJs. They don't have a two bottle minimum like most clubs in L.A.....and the bottle service girls are slammin! Every time I go here, the club is packed and has a great vibe! You can't find a club like this out here- the place is HUGE! Pros + great times make for great nights! Cons - nothing yet... http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html Yeah, I use to do Security there. I would have to say really fun club from what I've seen the people seem overall really nice and look like they have fun to. Celebs drop by all the time too. Saw Joe D last night http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html If you're into hanging with a bunch of drugged out people dancing to techno, ugly girls who are beetchy, and sketchy dudes asking you for special K, this place is for you! Seriously, a huge waste of your Saturday night. Go somewhere else if you're interested in attractive people who are fun. Pros + big place, could be a good venue Cons - ugly people, druggie scene, waste of a sat night http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html sick ass club http://www.yellowbot.com/vanguard-los-angeles-ca.html I went a month ago and is been the best club I been to.
